“Staying in Amman for city tours means I need a place that's easy to get to and from, especially after a long day of walking. I look for hostels with a 24-hour front desk, like Carob Hostel or The Castle Star, so I can check in late or ask for directions anytime. Being close to public transport or having a tour desk is a huge plus for planning my daily excursions. I also appreciate shared kitchens to save on food and common areas to swap stories with other travelers about their day's discoveries.”
